A journey with ordinary story

== Book Review == 1.  The Color of Inequality by Muhammed Abdul Khalid 2.  Rich Malaysia, Poor Malaysians by Anas Alam Faizli @anasalamfaizli   This is a long pending review which has been due for over a month. I ’m afraid I wouldn’t do justice. Both are just too good, hope my review helps. Read these books back to back because both are about the same issue, i,e; INEQUALITY, not anywhere else, but here in our beloved Malaysia. It took me quite some time to finish and digest. It’s a serious issue, but it’s so interesting that made me read some parts twice! Book 1 is like a thesis, provides statistic data from colonial times to millennium times, as we can see the shift of our economic base and help understand how gap occurred between races and how the gap of inequality did not did not change much for that 20 years. The data is shocking but it is not surprising when we see the reality around us. Inequality happened in every category either race/ethnic,s...

= Book Review= Breathe by Beni Rusani ( @drbenirusani ) Finished this book in 2 days.  Interesting & recommended! 👍👍👍 The flash back moments of Adam's life to his housemanship time reminds me back during the time I was a houseman. During housemanship, anywhere, I think would have ; that fierce specialist/MO that live up to his/her nicknames (do we give nicknames?) that specialist who would find time to teach his/her junior colleagues who were just started to breath the air of hell that kind-hearted medical officers who still remember they were once a houseman too, and treated you like a friend that fellow houseman who is a know-it-all and despise other housemen for being incompetent, and make his/her job difficult that fellow houseman who is smart enough to leave when the shift is over that staff nurse who always looked down on houseman The list can go on and on. It had its ugliness yet the kind MOs & specialis...

I came across this post a while ago and thinking this is really beneficial to be shared with. From his use of example, the generous doctor must be a surgeon, but I believe this tips can be applied in any department. He also shared his experience with his fellow HOs. To those who always got scolded for presenting your cases poorly to fellow colleagues, digest this and make sure it stuck in your brain , not in your colon :p ===================================================== Source: https://www.facebook.com/aimir711/posts/10153996949444888 Facebook name: Aimir Ma’rof I will say that 90% of a doctor’s job is to talk. We present cases, do referral, talk to seniors, teach the juniors, asking help from nurses/PPK, explain to patients. We talk all the time! Communication is very pertinent in this line of work. The management for any patients starts with a clerking and case presentation. This is the most important part of being a doctor. Hones...

For FUTURE, PRESENT , Ex-HOUSEMAN (Including Houseman who has quit, current Medical Officer, Specialist, Consultant, Senior Consultant, Super Consultant), and THE PUBLIC to understand Recently an issue has arisen regarding our Houseman AGAIN. I noticed this because they appear on my FB Newsfeed. Two good doctors have spent their busy time to give their thoughts and opinion on this. They are quite long, but I considered both articles are worth spending your time for. They touch on similar issue, but from different perspective. If you want to see the response for this post by other people (which some I annoyed with), I attached the source as well. I like them both, and when I have the time, I will share my thoughts later.
